Don't miss the #Stockholm50 Preparatory Meeting by United Nations General Assembly at 10am EDT today! It will focus on action toward the three Leadership Dialogues: - Reflecting on the urgent need for actions to achieve a healthy planet and prosperity of all - Achieving a sustainable and inclusive recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic - Accelerating the implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development in the context of the decade of action and delivery for sustainable development
The event will be broadcast live on UN Web TV in two parts: Part 1 from 10:00 - 13:00 | Part 2 from 15:00 - 18:00 EDT

Hi I am very insterested on discussing financing nature based solutions and I am based in Brazil
Our latest Stockholm+50 blog post authored by Rayhana Akter brings up the debate between development and sustainable environment, and the strategic impact assessment to better measure this matter. One of the key arguments is to build in climate adaptation from the onset in response to climate change.
How important do you think integrating climate change is in strategic environmental assessments?
What is your opinion on the state of the world’s progress towards a sustainable planet? Answer the survey’s ten quick questions and the results will be taken to the Stockholm+50 international meeting in June!

Source (Drinking) Water Protection: It Takes a Community!
Source Water protection, or lack thereof, affects every person on the planet. Everyone needs safe drinking water. But that does not always mean safe drinking water is affordable, or easily accessible.
Safe drinking water should never be taken for granted! Just as it takes a village to raise its children, it takes a community to protect its drinking (source) water and the watersheds providing public/private drinking water supplies.
Community Source Water Protection (CSWP) is the theme of a 16 part series I have developed and posted on LinkedIn and is also available upon request. Concepts presented and discussed with regards to public water systems can also be used by private well owners.

Ocean Science for Children...
The deep ocean holds many mysteries that researchers have only just begun to recognize. New technologies and tools have allowed scientists to explore areas of the deep ocean never before accessed, and they have found hundreds of new species and even new ecosystems. Yet, much of the world’s oceans remain unexplored (NOAA, 2019).
This post is dedicated to present and all future generations of Ocean Explorers and Protectors...
Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy. Bethany Hamilton
Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part. Hermann Broch
My soul is full of longing for the secrets of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans. Kahlil Gibran
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. Jacques Yves Cousteau
Hark, now hear the sailors cry / smell the sea, and feel the sky / let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic. Van Morrison
Even in the vast and mysterious reaches of the sea we are brought back to the fundamental truth that nothing lives to itself. Rachel Carson
The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul. Wyland
The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat. Jacques Yves Cousteau
Health to the ocean means health for us. Sylvia Earle
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. Mother Theresa An ocean which thinks there is nothing to learn from a lake is not a wise ocean!

Water: A Universal Necessity...
We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one. Jacques Cousteau
Water is critical for sustainable development, including environmental integrity and the alleviation of poverty and hunger, and is indispensable for human health and well-being. United Nations
In every drop of water, there is a story of life. Leena Arif
Water is the lifeblood of our bodies, our economy, our nation and our well-being. Stephen Johnson
The water cycle is the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states. Liquid water is found in oceans, rivers, lakes—and even underground. Solid ice is found in glaciers, snow, and at the North and South Poles. Water vapor—a gas—is found in Earth’s atmosphere (NASA, 2019).
Earth's water is always in movement, and the natural water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water is always changing states between liquid, vapor, and ice (USGS, 2019).
Water is a vital natural resource without which life would cease to exist. Water conservation and resources management represent some of the most critical environmental issues currently facing humankind (UNOOSA, 2018).
The water you touch in a river is the last of that which has passed, and the first of that which is coming; thus it is with time. Leonardo Da Vinci
Water is the most critical resource issue of our lifetime and our children's lifetime. The health of our waters is the principal measure of how we live on the land. Luna Leopold
This land, this water, this air, this planet - this is our legacy to our young. Paul Tsongas
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Chief Seattle ___ https://www.un.org/en/observances/water-day https://www.worldwaterday.org/ https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/water-…
